Alhamdulillah for the wonderful event. This is an event celebrating the excellence of both the academic and the supporting staff who excelled in their services during the 2019-2020 season. Due to the fact that the pandemic will strike the world in early 2020, the event has been postponed (2019), and this is the first time we have hosted the event virtually.
A part of the session is a sharing session from YBhg. Professor Emeritus Dato’ Dr. Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman (a.k.a Pak Syeikh), with the title of the talk “𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒔𝒆𝒕 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑺𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑶𝒓𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: 𝑴𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑰𝒕 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏!” The following is the take-home message I gathered during the talk:
Develop the mindset of the Champion! How?
High Energy!
Always wanting to raise the bar!
Keep going and not considering giving up!
Ihsan, always give your best, even when nobody is watching, without expecting rewards… with integrity, sincerity, resulting in high quality, perfection, and excellence, Allah SWT always watching you- Prof Datin Paduka Aini
Give your best !
Congratulation to all the achievers! They are very inspiring ^^ That’s me participating in one of the “Selfie Creatively”~ virtual Guru hehe.
Hai! The 28th of June through the 2nd of July is a Multimedia Week. This year it will be done virtually, not physically. All praise to God, I am experiencing be a part of the event committee.
Our very first event, Multimedia Day, began in 2014. As a platform for the students of our department to present and share their course projects with the public, it served as a good beginning for us. As a result of the overwhelming support from the department staff and students, Multimedia Week has progressively evolved into a department and student-led initiative.
Since the day it started, we have welcomed a large number of students from a variety of disciplines. We were also fortunate enough to secure the services of prominent figures in the industry who delivered speeches, workshops, and judging of our students’ works.
This year, however, for the first time, Multimedia Week will take place online. While we can’t hold our program in person to avoid physical contact and activities, it certainly feels different. But, let us look at the bright side: more people will be able to participate and engage in this event, regardless of their geographical location, because they will not have to travel to the exhibition venue.
Our lovely captured moments ^^
Hai ^^ how’s your day? Hopefully full of excitement and always in a pink of health. Today I would like to share about Predatory journals.
What is the Predatory journals?
Predatory journals are unscrupulous entities that prioritize profit over academic rigor and ethical standards. Unlike reputable journals, which subject submissions to rigorous peer review, these journals often bypass or entirely skip this crucial step. Their primary goal is to collect author fees, known as article processing charges (APCs), without ensuring the quality of the work they publish. As a result, the articles published in predatory journals may be poorly researched, lack scholarly merit, or even be outright fraudulent.
Recognizing predatory journals can be challenging, especially for early-career researchers or those unfamiliar with the landscape of academic publishing. However, several red flags can help identify them:
Please do be careful with those journals and of course it will come with a consequences.
The consequences of publishing in a predatory journal can be severe. For researchers, it can damage their reputation, as their work may not be considered credible if published in a low-quality outlet. Additionally, since predatory journals do not provide proper peer review, the research may contain errors, making it unreliable for future scholars. In extreme cases, these journals may even retract published articles without the author’s consent.
Moreover, the presence of predatory journals dilutes the academic literature with poorly vetted or fraudulent research, which can mislead policymakers, practitioners, and the public. This has far-reaching implications, particularly in fields like medicine, where inaccurate information could influence clinical decisions.
To avoid falling into the trap of predatory journals, researchers should carefully evaluate any publication they are considering submitting to. A few key steps include:
Beall’s List is one of a platform you can use to check the predatory journals.
Alhamdulillah, today 15 June 2021, I am officially working as a Senior Lecturer at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). It was a challenging and adventurous journey. I am very enthusiastic and will perform my best in research and teaching as both are my favourite job ever!
Owh ya, in order to upgrade my skills and to have a solid background in my research area, I need to commit to a Post Doctoral program overseas – Europe. Alhamdulillah! Another opportunity and adventurous journey await! 🙂
Ok then, I need to do journal writing. Till then, see ya ^^ will meet again in the next entry.
All Praise to God. Today, my colleague conveyed the good news to me via WhatsApp. Her journal paper was accepted and will be published in Applied Science Journal. It was such hard work from her. She always keeps updated and does follow-up on the journal revisions. I was part of the journal team by providing her with the related materials for the papers. However, most of the writing and editing were truly from her and the rest of the authors.
Congratulations, Reema Thabit ^^. Her journal is entitled “A Comparative Analysis of Arabic Text Steganography”. The research paper is a very useful journal for beginners in understanding the Arabic Text Steganography method and technique.
Hi there ^^ I just found out a great place to have a research networking and publish all your research papers. It’s Research Gate! You can visit the following link; https://www.researchgate.net
“Research Gate is a professional network for scientists and researchers. Over 20 million members from all over the world use it to share, discover, and discuss researches. ” – researchgate.net
Each researcher will have their own profile to ‘dump’ all their research works. Through there, they can build a huge network within their specialities and expertise. You may gather all your journal papers so that it would be an acknowledgement and to promote the journals to be cited.
This link is my research gate profile where you may add to your network if its is related to your areas of interest. ^^
